LGBT/Pride Week
June is LGBT pride month. We have a variety of queer AAPI's, friends, families and allies posting about their experiences. Thanks to Be DeGuzman, one of APAP's 2009 Unsung Heroes, for coordinating this special week of posts.
To help with our upcoming hate crimes/Vincent Chin week (June 21) or Pacific Islander week (Aug), please let us know. If you have a topic you or your agency would like to coordinate, email us.
Dan Choi takes time out to discuss his Korean American upbringing and how being Asian American in the US Army has led him to some interesting conclusions about his identity as both an Asian male and a gay male. He also passionately discusses why "Dont' Ask, Don't Tell" is such a profoundly mistaken for the United States to continue pursuing.
This event was hosted by the New York City chapter of Asian Pacific Americans for Progress on 6/21/2009. If you think there ought to be more events like this or want to participate in them, please consider joining our chapter.
APAP is a national network of progressive Asian Americans and allies. We count on the support of our members and friends to continue our work of advancing progressive ideas. Please consider joining today.
